I don’t get pops either. Analog volume controls require movement to stay clean. A C20 is the last true off on volume pot.. No movement it WILL get noisy. The mute buttons on Macs will last 75 years if they last a minute, same with a volume pot.. If you don’t use them.. 10-15 years before you have clean them correctly, for another 10 years of use.
After a couple hundred TT repairs and builds.. I’ve seen a few weird things.. Always volume down. My newer C2500 does it automatically. It mutes then ramps up the volume (slowly) to the last volume set.. You can actually set that ramp up speed too. I wonder WHY?
It’s in the manual look it up.. Geez.. Who want’s to test the "It hasn’t happened to me yet", guys suggestion.. Mine doesn’t pop either, HIS DOES... This is the fix.
Go argue with GOD, I’m just the mechanic.. :-) I don’t care if you're too LAZY to turn a nob.. Like I said, I BET money you don't use your turn signals.. I BET..
HE'S asking for help, not, "I don't need any, mine doesn't pop".. Good for you..
Just one POP away from the tweeters you probably can’t hear anyways, so WTF, ay? Silly advise from silly people..
